To be sure, you should check the entrance requirements specified by the college(s) you will be applying to. Remember to check if there's any extra requirements for your subject choices.

this is wha it says
Students must have attained the minimum of 5 A*- C qualifications at GCSE or equivalent (e.g. BTEC), with a ‘B’ grade in each subject to be studied at AS. Students studying AS subjects must have at least grade C in both English and Mathematics.

I that case, you don't need to pass science, though it's obviously helpful the more subjects you pass!

From that^ It looks like you need:

A) C in Maths & English to study AS at all
B) At least a B in your subject at GCSE to continue it to AS, so you'd need at least a B in the Maths at GCSE. Idk how that applies to Econ and Business, might have to ask college.

With regards to A) some colleges allow you to resit the GCSE Maths/Eng alongside your AS if you didn't get the C

But hey I could be mistaken
